There should be a wedge bulb which lights up the shifter at night, but it's possible that the bulb may have a loose connection. This has been happening somewhat lately in my '01 ES, and what I usually do is lightly knocking the shifter plate with my knuckles until the lights turn back on at night. Try that out on your GS and see what happens
